[Sunshine Special]
| Description: | A locomotive engine pulling the Texas & Pacific "Red Eye" passenger train, The Sunshine Special. These business friendly trains were scheduled to arrive in the Dallas/Ft Worth area at about 9AM from both East and West. The picture was taken by A.F. Weaver at Millsap, Texas in 1940. It was published in the Rotogravure section of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. The 700 (714) series engine shown was replaced a few years later by larger, more powerful Series 600 engines capable of greater speed. |
